The Westchester Department of Social Services has moved for the second time this year to increase the cost to parents of subsidized day care.

The county has published a public notice requesting comments on a plan to increase the parent share from 20 percent of income above the poverty line to 35 percent as of Nov. 1. At the same time, the day care subsidy programs are all being frozen as of 5 p.m. Tuesday because of lack of funding, according to the notice. The freeze does not apply to guaranteed programs such as those for families receiving Temporary Assistance.
